The NYIT Athletics Hall of Fame honors outstanding performances by NYIT alumni on the fields of play, as well as those who have distinguished themselves as model athletes, coaches and administrators. The NYIT Hall of Fame began in 1998 with the induction of eight honorees, a collection of star athletes representing baseball, basketball, track and field, softball and women's volleyball. Since that time, 62 athletes, coaches and administrators and two teams have been inducted into the Hall of Fame from among the best of NYIT's 13 intercollegiate sports. In addition, in 2006 NYIT began presenting the Wonderful Life Achievement Award, in honor of former NYIT Director of Athletics Dr. William T. “Buck” Lai, to a deserving individual. A committee of athletic administrators and former athletes select the honorees for induction.
